“Evidence Based” programs are proven to
get high quality outcomes for youth,
families, and communities. However,
these programs only predictably produce
quality outcomes when they are
implemented as they were designed by
the researchers who developed them,
with fidelity to the model.
MODEL FIDELITY HIGHLIGHTS: Project TND fidelity is assessed by observing 20% of the lessons taught. In addition
a Quality Assurance review is conducted by the program developer after the first full year of implementation.
Facilitation Strengths and/or Areas for Improvement: Local info here.
Student Engagement: The TND Post-test includes four process questions to assess level of student engagement
which is a key factor in achieving desired outcomes. ZZ% of Project TND students reported a high level of
engagement.
Project TND Substance Abuse Prevention Outcomes
Project TND Youth Survey Administration: The data shown below was collected using a 29 item survey adapted
from a tool used in the original Project TND research. It is completed by each youth before the first TND lesson
and then again after the 12th lesson. The tool assesses changes in knowledge, skills, and substance use
intentions. The post tool has an additional section that assesses level of student engagement in the TND lessons.

What is the expected long-term impact of Project TND? The outcomes highlighted above reflect short-term
participant changes in knowledge, motivation, and skills. These changes are expected to lead to long-term
outcomes similar to those demonstrated in Project TND trials.
Potential Long Term Impacts of Project TND Shown in Randomized Control Trials
 27% prevalence reduction in 30-day cigarette use
 22% prevalence reduction in 30-day marijuana use
 26% prevalence reduction in 30-day hard drug use
 9% prevalence reduction in 30-day alcohol use among baseline drinkers
 25% prevalence reduction in one-year weapon-carrying among males
What is the Cost Benefit of Project TND? The Washington State Institute for Public Policy reports that for every
dollar invested in Project TND there is a potential savings of $8.61 or $109 for every youth who participates.
With 355 youth completing Project TND lessons there is a potential savings of $38,695 for the community!
